How did soldiers from your cunt look during WWI? I personally think the cap is pretty neat.
Just the entire force from my town in 1942.

like heroes.
Here's what it looked like in 1914. It didn't stay like that for long for obvious reasons
>>73157072
Well it's pretty much the same.
Do colonial outfits count?
>>73157072
As far as i know sweden didn't fought during WW1.
He just wanted to blend in. Be nice with sweden or he will go back to his general and never leave again.

I played Victoria 2 (game in the 19th century, a little before WW1) before as the Netherlands and I swear you all looked like Union soldiers.

The description of this image says it's from our Atjeh war 1873-1914.
But judging by the weapons I think it might be from our WW2 police actions in Indonesia.

Most of the ones who fought on Germany's side in the finnish 27th jäger batallion, later coming back here and dealing with the civil war and later most of them becoming high ranking army officials who fought in Winter and continuation war.

my great great great uncle fought in ww1 in the 27th jäger battalion. Came back to Finland to fight against reds in 1918 and still fought in winter war over 20 years later.
>>73157591
The modern ceremonial outfit of the Dutch artillery is pretty based as well. Pre-WW1 they actually waged war in these outfits.

its sad europe doesn't remember that 1.5 million Indian soldiers fought along side the brits in World War 1
>>73157868
It's sad Britain doesn't even care. Hmmn.

What a sick cunt
Meanwhile in Kiwiland they had the stupid onion hat
Do the dutch still teach the use of the kelwang?
>>73158472
Only the Marechaussee still uses them ceremonially.
Which is our FBI/military police/border patrol.

The royal guard is allowed to cut you up with their swords though.
In the Netherlands there are no rules that state the royal guards should stand still.
And no laws that dictate with which weapons someone should defend himself or others.
>>73158788
Whoops, sorry, thought about wwii.
Have some bolsheviks
>>73158845
You see Ivan, the nipple hats are for making of camouflage.
>>73157134
It wasn't terribly impractical compared to what some countries were using 30 years later, but head protection was a good addition. I don't know, I always found this uniform as a good blend of old-war aesthetic mixed with function, and it would probably hold up all right in today's insurgencies where the people on the ME side are already wearing things worse than what the Ottoman Empire fielded during WWI anyway.
At least the FFL still wears those white hats, yeah?
>>73156940
Like homosexual boot-licking animals who couldn't become men and then decided to become suicidal butchers instead in the hopes to die with a rifle stuck in their arses.
In other words, just like any other soldier regardless of time or country.
Pretty good tbqh, for a nation this poor
>>73157134
Likely pulling out of my ass here, but that looks less like a combat uniform and more like a dress uniform. Kind of like how you see soldiers wearing tailored, form-fitting dress suits during parades and parties, while IRL, on the battlefield, they probably wore something more appropriate for war-time conditions.
>>73157868
>what is Armistice Day
>>73159487
No they actually wore that on the battlefiled because before WW1, people really did think a battlefield was a place of honor. It's what cause early French casualties of the war to be extra high, while later i believe the Germans lost more men on the western front than the allies
>>73159594

Many of the Indian soldiers brought to France to fight never actually saw the front but were never brought back.
With all the french men rotting in the trenches this scenario is pretty likely.
>>73157868
They acknowledge that 500,000 Indians fought in the war because one Anglo soldier is worth three Indian ones.
>>73162185
Before WW2 the Netherlands considered building an army in Indonesia to fight the Germans if something would happen.
But our minister of finance figured it was too expensive. And we were neutral anyway..
>>73157134
>the "I'm suicidal, please shoot me :DDDDD" starter pack
>>73162264
Unless you wanted them to harvest coffee at the Germans, that was never going to work.
>>73162291
Against Japan it showed the military in Indonesia was highly incompetent. But perhaps with better training..
>>73159487
>less like a combat uniform and more like a dress uniform
In a lot of armies today's dress uniforms were yesterday's combat uniforms.
>>73162328
I'm too tired to not be horsing around. Goodnight.
>>73162264
Yea, lets throw all your men away in a war against your brothers to repopulate the netherlands with indonesians.. baka

DESIGNATED SHITTING TRENCHES
Pretty alright, all things considered.
the french soldiers had light blue uniforms to merge with the horizon during mass movements towards the ennemy lines. Was it smart or dumb? I can't tell
>>73156940
*jams on you*
>>73159034
They were designed for russian imperial army by Vasnetsov, an artist, famous for his drawings of medieval Rus.

I wish we had some cool uniforms for once.
Maybe the only time we had something nice was around the time of the american independance war
>>73157868
You may think that - it's not true. I and many others have the greatest respect, if not more for Raj troops putting their lives on the line for a war which shouldn't have even happened.
>>73156940

We were all good m8s back in the day
Also indian raj troops were the most aesthetic of the war in my opinion
>>73163436
This looks ridiculous. The entire uniform, not just the gas mask
>>73169744
Personally, I think that they look GOAT
